Venue Highlights
Diverse Indoor & Outdoor Spaces
Heart Lodge is a rustic, heated indoor facility with a large stone fireplace—ideal for meetings, group meals, or rainy-day sessions.
Cathedral Grove features a redwood-lined natural arch—perfect for ceremonies, storytelling circles, or deep-dive discussions.
Additional spaces include grassy meadows, garden patios, and campfire clearings
Private Group-Only Use
Each event at Saratoga Springs is hosted in total privacy—no other guests or programs will be on the property. This exclusivity creates a true sense of immersion and uninterrupted flow for your team.
Retreat-Friendly Lodging
Guests can stay onsite in bunk-style lodge rooms, cozy shared cabins, or set up for outdoor camping under the stars. Full-property rentals include access to all overnight facilities for exclusive group use.
Built for Wellness & Reflection
Designated areas throughout the forest—like a ceremonial fire circle, stone labyrinth, and “power points”—create spaces for mindfulness, yoga, journaling, or simply quiet reflection. Miles of hiking trails encourage exploration between sessions.
Close Yet Secluded
Located just 10 minutes from downtown Saratoga and under an hour from San Jose or Palo Alto, the venue offers easy access for Bay Area teams while feeling like a full escape into nature.
Redwood Forest Backdrop & Onsite Catering & Meals
The entire property is surrounded by towering redwoods, flowing water, and mountain views. This sense of natural seclusion allows guests to unplug and truly engage with their surroundings and each other.
A commercial-grade kitchen and culinary team prepare wholesome, family-style meals for groups of all sizes. Menus can be adjusted for dietary needs and retreat formats—buffets, boxed meals, plated dinners, or cookout-style dining.
